FAQs

Metal detectors will detect any metal under the ground including iron, gold, silver, copper etc. In some locators it will also help identify metal type (eg Garrett ACE 250). It will also differentiate between ferrous (metal has iron content) and non ferrous metal (no iron content in metal eg. gold, silver etc).

a) Soil condition – some soil have high mineral content greatly reducing the penetration strength of the locator. It is very important you buy the correct locator for your region based on soil conditions or you may get incorrect signals. Never buy any locator from market . We have clients all over India and can help you decide most successful locator for your region. Please call one of our technical sales specialist for guidance.

b) Coil Size –

The bigger the size of coil the deeper it will search. Small sized coil locators are easier to carry but lack the depth (1-4 feet approx.). Big coil locators are slightly heavier to carry but go deeper. Garrett GTI2500 w/ eagle eye is our best seller and works in most soil conditions and can search between 5-10 feet or more depending upon target/ soil condition etc.

c) Age of target underground.
The longer the target has been underground, the stronger will be its signal.

a. Mineralization – Some types of soil have iron content in them or other minerals which will give the operator an incorrect signal leading to a false alarm. This is the most common reason for false signals and can cause the operator to becomes frustrated as he keeps digging to find nothing in the soil. You can avoid this by using detectors that are meant for mineralised soil, like Garret ATX. Also professional training and correct training will help operator to avoid false alarms.

b. Professional training and correct setting on the metal detector will help operator to reduce false alarm.

c. Using an inferior product will also give false signals. Avoid Chinese machines and buy from authorised dealers to avoid purchasing fakes units that may look like original.

The longer the target has been underground, the stronger will be its signal. So it is slightly easier to find an old buried target than a newly buried target. To detect targets below 5 mts, OKM are the best metal detectors.
